[hylafax-users] Detecting the difference between a fax, human and no answer

[Steve Cox <s.cox@ConquestBM.com>]

Hi,

I'm having problem with a Hylafax installation detecting when there is a
human pickup. A human pickup is sometimes being reported as 'busy signal
detected' and is not being taken off of the queue - rather than reporting
"No Carrier Detect" and removing the job.

I'm running hylafax 4.1.1 (Debian linux) and using a USR Sportster 56K
modem. Apart from the above, all seems to be running fine. Also, I'm testing
within the companies PABX phone system.

The FAQ says adding a '@' to the end of the dial string will enable this
detection - for which I added the line:

ModemDialCmd:   ATDT%s@

to config.ttyS0

but now it's coming up with "No answer from remote" when I pick up the call
manually - and there is no single short tone on pick up either which it does
without the '@'. When I hang up, faxstat still reports the job is being sent
- when it times out, it reports no answer.

Any ideas welcome

Steve
